Saris Freedom SuperClamp 4-Bike

The Saris Freedom SuperClamp's innovative front and rear wheel hooks completely eliminate frame contact while providing the most secure hold of any tray-style rack on the market. The SuperClamp holds four bikes and its tilting base allows access to the rear of your vehicle. With an integrated lock and arms that ratchet into place to simplify loading and unloading, the Saris Freedom SuperClamp loves to protect your bikes as much as you love to ride them.

I've been using this rack now for about 3 months and it's really great. The two arm design makes it to where the bikes won't bounce against each other, but is extremely easy to use. I'm not going to go crazy into details, so here is the readers digest version.
What I love:
4 bike capability. Even with bikes of differing wheel sizes it works great.
Secure mounting of bikes with little interference.
Easy to use ratcheting arms give feedback to make feel secure.
Distance of bikes from back of vehicle just right to make getting in and out of car easy (may vary on vehicle and hitch options)
Things I think could use improvement:
Cable locks, they seem just a bit too short and makes it a little difficult to use.
Hitch mount, single bolt is simple and works but I think could be refined to be more secure.
Pivot system, folding into the up position isn't always a smooth affair. Maybe having the release lever able to move up or down would be nice to allow for one handed operation as well.

Super nice, versatile rack. Set up is a bit tough and you need the right tools, but once the rack is on the car, you'll never have any problems. I have so much confidence that my bikes will always be on the car whether I am driving or parked. The individual locks for each bike are so nice and easy to use. When you do get the freedom superclamp, buy it through your local bike shop and have them install it for you if you are not confident in assembly yourself (especially if getting the fat tire holders). #sweepstakes

We use the Freedom Superclamp 4-bike rack for our family's bikes. It works well with various sizes of bikes loaded on it. Other racks we have had in the past haven't worked well with 20" wheels.
The installation was quick and straightforward. It is lightweight and easy to take on and off.
We are very pleased with how secure the clamps ratchet down on the bike wheels. One of the features that makes this rack stand out over other brands is how compact it is. The rack doesn't stick out nearly as far as other 4-bike racks do when it's down. It is almost as compact as other brand's 2-bike racks. The only thing to be aware of is how intentional you need to be when loading the bikes. Pedal placement must be chosen carefully so you don't put the pedals from one bike into the adjacent bike's frame. When folded up towards the vehicle it doesn't cover the rear window.

I am a Year round cyclist and Triathlete living in Canada! The rack is on my vehicle 24/7; even through the extreme Canadian Winter! It has stood up like no other rack I have used! It is a great rack to fit anything from kids bikes, to road bikes, to fat bikes with the accessory tray and even triathlon bikes! I would recommend this rack to anyone looking to transport bikes! The tilt feature is awesome! Locks are handy and easy to use; no more forgetting your lock at home! It is amazing to have the option to transport up to 4 bikes; makes group rides and commutes much easier!! YOU NEED THIS RACK!

Dear Saris, our team LOVES your bike rack!!! It got a lot of use and abuse this last year as we drove thousands of miles to race (it even survived being backed into some stone walls...oops!). We've had a lot of hitch-mount racks over the years and this one is TOPS in our book! Other cyclists always come to check it out and we tell them they HAVE to get one! It is SO easy to use, and with an integrated lock, we feel safe traveling with $50,000 worth of serious carbon and metal strapped into it!
Thanks for making a great product that serious cyclists can count on.
Love from Team CS Velo Racing #csveloracing
p.s. we love our #cycleops too!
